His bankruptcy filing in July 2015 came days after losing an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed by a woman who said he acquired a video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission. A jury awarded $7 million to the woman, Lastonia Leviston.

As part of the plan, Leviston agreed to take $6 million.

50 Cent took the stand on Wednesday and the judge asked if he understood provisions of the plan, including a requirement to pay the $6 million to Leviston, even if he seeks bankruptcy protection again.

"That's not gonna happen," 50 Cent said.

Jackson is an admitted former crack dealer who has built an empire beyond entertainment. He invested early in Vitamin Water and has expanded his business interests into clothing and audio equipment.

Now 41, he has gone on to become an actor whose credits include the Starz network action series "Power." He also was named by Forbes last year as one of hip-hop's five wealthiest artists for 2015.

He bought his 17-acre home in Connecticut from boxer Mike Tyson in 2003 for $4.1 million. The house, which is now up for sale, includes 19 bedrooms, more than two dozen bathrooms, a gym, billiard rooms, racquetball courts and a disco.
